Everyone experiences stress, but how many of us really know that much about it? To start, there are three different types of stress - physical, chemical, and emotional - and all of them impact your health on a serious level. Family First Chiropractic Wellness Center is here to help you become more informed and make simple changes to your life to help you live happier and healthier!

When our bodies become overwhelmed, they are forced to shut down. That being said, with large amounts of stress on your body, there is no way for your system to function optimally. That is where we come in! Regular chiropractic adjustments clear your body of interference, largely reducing the effects of everyday stressors.

Talking Chemical in Dubuque

Today, we are talking about chemical stress. From our water and food to the air we breathe in and industrial waste - it is all around us. Have you ever been looking at the ingredients in packaged food and noticed a word you cannot pronounce? Chances are that it is a chemical! Try it. Pick up a packaged food around you, look at the ingredients, and count how many you do not recognize or cannot pronounce. Scary, huh?

Even in our water supply, there are chemicals. Chlorine and fluoride are two of the most common. There really is no way to escape chemicals! What can we do, though? Reduce them.

How can we reduce our chemical intake?

One small change that everyone can make is to simply stop polluting. If we work to stop polluting, we can make a large difference in how convoluted the air is around us. Another slight alteration we can make in our daily lives is replacing processed foods with fresh produce.

What might seem little today is certainly a big deal tomorrow. We are glad to share with you more information on the effects of stress on the human body. Contact our practice to learn more!
